ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT Students become active participants in the learning process by engaging in authentic experiences that allow for students to gain a deeper understanding of content and to demonstrate that understanding. Some strategies include: Cooperative learning Experiential learning experiences Research Role-play Simulations

Building Knowledge through Content-Rich Nonfiction and Informational Text What the Student Does… What the Teacher Does…  Builds content knowledge through text  Finds evidence  Gains exposure to the world through reading  Handles primary source documents  Balances informational & literary text  Scaffolds for informational texts  Teaches “through” and “with” informational texts by allowing students to read the text instead of summarizing Principal’s Role:  Purchases and provides equal amounts of informational and literary texts for each classroom and supports teachers’ transition to this balance  Provides PD and co-planning opportunities for teachers to become more familiar with informational texts and how to use them side by side with literary texts  Supports the role of all teachers (all disciplines) in advancing students’ literacy ELA/L ITERACY S HIFT 1:

32
S HIFT 2 Reading and Writing Grounded in Evidence from the Text What the Student Does…What the Teacher Does…  Finds evidence to support their argument and writes using evidence  Forms own judgments and creates informational texts  Reads texts closely  Engages with the author and his/her choices  Compares multiple sources  Facilitates evidence based conversations and presents opportunities to write about multiple texts  Keeps students in the text and gives them opportunities to analyze, synthesize ideas  Identifies questions that are text-dependent, worth asking/exploring, delivers richly  Develops students’ voice so that they can argue a point and articulate their own conclusions using evidence  Spends much more time preparing for instruction by reading deeply Principal’s Role:  Provides planning time for teachers to engage with the text to prepare and identify appropriate text-dependent questions  Supports teachers as they spend more time with students writing about the texts they read ― building strong arguments using evidence from the text  Encourage teachers to foster evidence based conversations about texts with and amongst students

33
S HIFT 3 Regular Practice with Complex Text and its Academic Vocabulary What the Student Does… What the Teacher Does…  Rereads  Tolerates frustration when engaged with challenging text  Uses high utility words across content areas  Builds “language of power” database  Spends more time on more complex texts at every grade level  Gives students less to read, lets them reread  Provides scaffolding & strategies  Develops students’ ability to use and access words  Is strategic about the new vocabulary words  Teaches fewer words more deeply Principal’s Role:  Supports teachers as they work through and experience their students’ frustration with complex texts and learn to chunk and scaffold that text  Ensures that texts are appropriately complex at every grade and that complexity of text builds from grade to grade  Supports teachers as they scaffold so that students can move to more complex texts  Provides training to teachers on the shift for teaching vocabulary in a more meaningful, effective manner

T EXT D EPENDENT Q UESTIONS A text-dependent question forces students to go back to the text. It is a question they could not answer if they did not read, and even if they did read, they will still need to refer back to the text to answer the question. In his research in both Texas and Vermont, David Coleman found that 80% of the questions students in grades kindergarten through twelve were asked to answer did not require them to go back to the text.

36
To help teachers understand text-dependent questions, achievethecore.org, created by the Student Achievement Partners, has created exemplar lesson plans and has published its “Guide to Creating Questions for Close Analytic Reading.” Good text-dependent questions, according to the guide, cause students to do at least one of the following tasks: achievethecore.orgGuide to Creating Questions for Close Analytic Reading Analyze paragraphs on a sentence by sentence basis and sentences on a word by word basis to determine the role played by individual paragraphs, sentences, phrases, or words Investigate how meaning can be altered by changing key words and why an author may have chosen one word over another Prove each argument in persuasive text, each idea in informational text, each key detail in literary text, and observe how these build to a whole Examine how shifts in the direction of an argument or explanation are achieved and the impact of those shifts Question why authors choose to begin and end when they do Note and assess patterns of writing and what they achieve Consider what the text leaves uncertain or unstated

37
For a student to complete any of these tasks, he or she would have to read and comprehend the text and revisit the text to analyze it. While asking these kinds of questions requires planning in advance–I know I would have a challenging time making them up on the spot!–it is a different kind of planning than we are used to because instead of preparing to give away all the information, we are planning to ask probing questions that guide students in uncovering the information.

A CADEMIC V OCABULARY Tier Two words (what the Standards refer to as general academic words) are far more likely to appear in written texts than in speech. They appear in all sorts of texts: informational texts (words such as relative, vary, formulate, specificity, and accumulate ), technical texts ( calibrate, itemize, periphery ), and literary texts ( misfortune, dignified, faltered, unabashedly ). Tier Two words often represent subtle or precise ways to say relatively simple things— saunter instead of walk, for example. Because Tier Two words are found across many types of texts, they are highly generalizable. (CCSS, Appendix A, pg. 33)

39
Tier 2 Words Criteria to determine which words to teach: Instruction Not address Tell Worthy  Students are likely to see the word often in other texts and across domains.  The word will be useful in students’ writing.  The word relates to other words or ideas that the students know or have been learning.  Word choice has significance in the text.  The context does not provide enough information for students to infer the meaning of the word.

Standards for Mathematical Practices 1.Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4.Model with mathematics. 5.Use appropriate tools strategically 6.Attend to precision. 7.Look for and make use of structure. 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

FOCUS Rather than racing to cover everything in today’s mile-wide, inch-deep curriculum, teachers use the power of the eraser and significantly narrow and deepen the way time and energy is spent in the math classroom.

Hong Kong students outperformed US students on US content that they were not taught. US students ranked near the bottom. US students ‘covered’ 80% of TIMSS content.
